Stranger Captures Humble Sidewalk Marriage Proposal in Magical Photo

Some marriage proposals are elaborately staged affairs designed to be unforgettable, but for one Rhode Island couple, a simple and spontaneous engagement in the rain, on a New York City sidewalk, will always be perfect. It will never be forgotten either, thanks to the priceless photos they never expected to be captured.

Jennae Zuloaga, 23, had been standing nearby, checking her phone because she thought she was lost, when she saw the marriage proposal unfolding in front of her eyes and immediately knew she had to take a photo.

“That was the quintessential New York moment that I needed to make me feel like I was in the right place at the right time,” she told TODAY.com. “To have it happen just after moving to New York was really special. It was a wonderful moment, and I couldn’t be happier for them.”
